The playoffs are a joke because of the absurd structure of MLB. The league trades integrity for profit generated in the form of bogus divisional races.
A more honest approach would by only conferences and a balanced schedule. That way the 4 playoff teams would be much more likely to be the four best teams in the conference.

This is why my 32 team fictional league is four 8 team divisions... only the champions of the divisions get into the playoffs. It even makes it a bit harder on me.
